"Ninja really changed the game" - Fans react as DrLupo announces his return to Twitch along with multi-platform streaming

On September 1, 2024, Benjamin Lupo, popularly known as "DrLupo," made a big announcement on X. In the social media post, the content creator thanked YouTube and shared his thoughts on his three-year experience streaming on the Google-owned livestreaming platform. He then announced that beginning in September 2024, he would be going multi-platform, adding that he was returning to Twitch.

The FPS streamer tweeted:

"Thank you, YouTube Gaming for three years, calling the red site home. But tomorrow, we're going multi-plat. Every stream. Every day. Every game."

As expected, DrLupo's announcement has gone viral, eliciting responses from numerous fans. Prominent esports personality Jake Lucky shared this announcement on his official X handle, and in response, X user @devilslayerr_ said:

"Ninja really changed the game."

Twitch affiliate TheStickyBun stated that simultaneously broadcasting on multiple platforms had been 'game-changing' for him:

"Multi-streaming has legit been a game-changer for me. Can’t believe I wasn’t doing it sooner."

Meanwhile, one netizen, X user @fuzzycardboard, voiced their concerns over DrLupo's decision to multi-stream, claiming that streamers "don't respond or look" at YouTube chat:

"Most people who multi-stream don't respond or look at YouTube chat from my experience, will it be different from the dad of YouTube?"

DrLupo responded to them by saying:

"Oh, I'll see it all. Don't you worry about that. :)"
